Description

The first time you encounter Aela the Huntress she and her fellow Companions have just slain a giant (or are still attempting to slay it, depending on your Dovahkiin’s timing). My Dovahkiin was impressed by her skill in battle, and when this formidable woman mentioned the Companions, my Dovahkiin immediately wanted to join up and prove her mettle.

Aela is tough, smart, and capable of making people twice her size back down in fear of her wrath. Even Farkas and Vilkas know better than to cross her. My Dovahkiin felt an instant kinship with her, and after a shared encounter with the Silver Hand, considered Aela a true Shield-Sister for life.

However, even though Aela is attractive as she is, I felt that a few changes could make her truly beautiful, which I think suits her. I smoothed out her complexion, lightened her warpaint a bit, made a few facial tweaks, and gave her a different, sexier hairstyle.

I have also uploaded two alternate versions of Aela with different hairstyles. The face changes are identical to my original Enchanting Aela, only the hairstyle options are different. Please look at the "Required Mods" section of the description page to see what Apachii hairstyle packs are required.

I hope you enjoy Aela, and if you do, endorsements are very much appreciated.

Installation

Extract the file to a temporary location.Copy/place the .esp in your Skryim Data folder.Merge my "meshes" folder with the "meshes" folder in your Skryim Data folder.Merge my "textures" folder with the "textures" folder in your Skyrim Data folder.Make sure the .esp is checked in the “Data Files” section of the Skryim Launcher.

As for where it should go in your load order, it doesn’t really matter, although I would recommend putting it ABOVE any multi-follower mod (AFT, EFF, UFO) just in case.

Uninstall

Incompatibility

As this changes Aela, it will most likely be incompatible with any other mod that changes her.

Conflicts/Bugs

None that I know of.
